Happy Holidays! These past two weeks have been very busy but very fun. On my first week of Christmas break I went down to Huntington Beach California to visit family for the Holidays. My family and I do this every year and it’s always nice to see them. I had a great time in Southern California, and it was great …

This week was Thanksgiving! My family always hosts Thanksgiving, so this year was the same as the rest. It was a great time with lots of super good food. My dad is always the grill master so he makes the turkeys and any other projects he wants to experiment with. This year we had 2 turkeys on the barque and …

School this year has been going very well, I ended the first quarter with a 4.4 GPA! But challenges of a few big research projects are soon to come. Coming up with research projects in 11th grade is really tough. It’s like trying to find your way through a big maze. Picking a good topic is hard because you want …

This week I want to talk about my personal goal I’ve been developing throughout my black belt test. This goal I set for myself was to learn better responsibility and self discipline. There have been many physical challenges throughout my test but they don’t compare to the mental challenges that one will go through. Responsibility and self discipline were the …

This week was a pretty normal week so I will use the blog as a progress report. I have exactly 68 days until my final test! That’s a little more than 2 month, so this is what I’ve done so far, 47,685 push-ups and sit-ups, I’ve ran biked and swam 962 miles, I have done 950 acts of kindness, 907 …

This week I was able to attend an out of school tournament in West Sacramento, so here’s a run down of what happened. First I participated in kata, and I tied for first place in my division. A funny thing that happened is the same person I tied for first this year, I tied for first last year at the …

This week, I completed my black belt community service project! For my service project, I went to Del Paso Heights Elementary school to put on an assembly by myself to teach pre-k to 2nd graders about anti-bullying. This was a great experience! For my assembly, I went over with the kids what bullying was, what some bullies do, what an …

This week I was able to attend a family weekend at Chico State University to visit my brother! It was super fun to be able to visit him especially because I don’t get to see him very often. My family and I went up to Chico on a Saturday morning, then we took the time we had to walk around …

This week I finished a book called “Three Budo Masters”. This book gave interesting perspective on 3 different types of martial arts masters in the 18-1900s. The 3 masters this books covered are Jigoro Kano a judo master, Gichin Funakoshi a karate master, and Morihei Ueshiba an Aikido master. Having 3 different masters in one book allowed for 3 different …

Over the weekend I was able to attend a karate tournament up in Redding hosted by Scott Halsey. It was super duper fun and a great experience overall. For placement wise I did pretty well, I got 1st in weapons kata, 2nd in empty hand kata, and 2nd in point sparring. It was really cool to meet a bunch of …
